Pride And Prejudice

            
             Comparing the 1900's in Britain today would make 100 years seem like much more. Over the past years Britain has gone threw changed in women's roles and rights, clothing, and even things like marriage. What was normal then would probably be breaking laws now. Both societies would seem alien to one another and you will understand it after reading the next few paragraphs. .
             Woman's rights one hundred years ago were very scarce. Women were basically put on the earth back then to clean the house, make dinner and have children. Women could go out and get a job as a maid or maybe selling goods back then but it was poor money and only really families let their women work. Women were not even able to vote which most people take for granted one hundred years later. Women have come a long way over the past one hundred years to being equal as men in almost all aspects of life.
             Clothing was also quite different one hundred years ago. Women and men were very conservative. It was important to look the best you could at all times now matter what the occasion. It didn't matter if you were going to a huge ball or going down the street you needed to look good in public, this especially went for women that were single. Girls wore fancy dresses with like 6 layers on underneath which made them pretty incomparable. Now women wear next to nothing and men can wear almost whatever they want and it is accepted in today's society.
             One of the things that seems the most strange is women did not have any say on who they married. Women were told by their fathers who they will live with the rest of their lives whether if they liked it or not. Like in the movie Pride and Prejudice women were raised to be married off. Girls would go to parties in their best dress looking the best they could and if things went well a guy would hit on them. The father would try to pick the man with the most money and the best reputation to make his daughter well off.
